Follow-up Comment #4, bug #53712 (project octave):

I built this in mxe-octave. In linux, the editor wouldn't show up and a
command "edit ode45" for example results in an error dialogue box in the form


"Could not start custom file editor
emacs +0 /file/location".

When I installed it in Windows, it opened up fine with the previous files
open. Switching between cascaded/tabbed(and tiled) worked fine via the
view/windows menu.

This approach would probably be acceptable when there are few files open, but
it isn't very practical for my usage: I had 9 files open up from my previous
session (and at times I've had more), but the cascaded view makes it hard to
find the right file, and tiled views are unusably small. A standard work flow
I've used in editors that allow tiled layouts is to have the majority of files
in one tabbed tile set and then a specific file or two in an alternate tabbed
tile set for side by side viewing/debugging.

I know work is early on this: but another problem I found was that debugging
in the cascaded view ended up re-opening a file multiple times for some
reason.
